Disclaimer to protect myself from Human Rights Commissions (normal people need not read this paragraph): I hereby solemnly declare that I do not harbour any hatred or anger towards any religion or religious group, especially not Islam or Muslims. I do not advocate any form of violence, hatred or discrimination against Muslims. I am simply concerned by the statements made by Muslims themselves to the effect that they support terrorist acts. I am therefore exploring the implications of their position on the public good of Canadians and the world.

In the second article of this series, we saw that a large proportion of Muslims living in European countries support terrorist acts. But Muslims are only a small part of the population, right? Wrong. In the four countries we examined, the Muslims supporting terrorist acts totalled more than 2.1 million people. And that was just four countries.

The situation will become more preoccupying in the future due to demographics. The vast majority of immigrants into Europe are Muslims. Muslims already living in Europe are having way more children than other groups. So the share of the population represented by Muslims is growing rapidly.

I used to be concerned about the USSR being a threat to world peace, but they disintegrated. While Russia is still unstable, I'm not all that worried.

I also used to think that China was a big threat to world peace. They're still communist and have nukes too. They are also growing very rich and influential. But China's history has generally not involved invading neighbouring countries. They have been relatively peaceful in that sense and their current ambitions seem to be focused on material wealth. To achieve that wealth, they absolutely need the rest of the world to buy their goods.

No, the greatest threat to world peace might come from Europe. Rich, well-armed and soon to have a large Muslim population that is prone to terrorism. European economics also suffer from multiple sclerosis, such that their economies are likely to yield higher unemployment are greater discontent than what we see in North America, Australia or New Zealand.

About me

Some people would call me a "Magisterial Catholic," which means that I accept all the teachings of the Catholic Church and I look to the Pope for my marching orders. I am actively involved in pro-life activities.
